But it has been a while since I have thought to look, and now my SO (main travel partner) has GE so it is a bit of a moot point. I think same last name is a factor.

And MiamiAirport Formerly NY George is right, if you get downgauged to a narrow-body - it is anyone's guess what terminal you will depart from.
Thanks, and yes all one reservation. I actually think I've seen what you suggest happen before when we flew with one of our (adult) children. That is why I can't remember them using the Priority lane, I think we all had Pre-check on our boarding passes even though only my wife & I are actually in the program.

Neither of our adult children fly much so they have never enrolled. On the other hand, I could just get them enrolled between now and then and not have to think about it. Our daughter doesn't handle stress well. Everyone going together through Pre-check would be the least stressful way.

As to which terminal, the flight is wide body today but will be a narrow body by September so, yes it is impossible to guess which terminal. Heck, it is sometimes impossible to guess which terminal until 30 minutes before boarding. Gotta love AA at DFW.
